Seeking only entertainment while your world is burning? *Yawn* I’m going to have to save you now. #आदर्शबालक Thanks for this one.
The cutest munchkin watches over me during today’s turbulence. He insists I try the veg meal option because, “gurgle gurgle ba boo.” (Veg is the way to go) Thank you for the advice little one, but I’m sorry, I love my murg. Your little shake of the head in the end tells me you don’t approve. It doesn’t matter however, because you so cute it blows my mind. PS: Maybe flying with little kids isn’t that hard if you aren’t an arsehole.
And I jumped straight into Cannes. For the second time. #mantoatcannes #cannes2018 #uncertainregard
There are perhaps 2 million children in India who work day and night. As he plays god in a godless country, people take photographs of 7 year old Bhuvan but don’t ask him where his parents are, why he isn’t in school or when he last ate. However, come one and come all, he blesses them without a flinch.
Double tap to see me strip, cry and then eventually leave the club.

To everybody who has given me so much love and appreciation for my work over the last few years, may our lives be filled with happiness. (Ok, even the ones that haven’t, yes, you) Peace and love be with us all.

Thank you Kureepphuzza Sreekumar for this wonderful poem.
More truth on the sidewalks than all the concrete cages. Rosy roti.
“Keep your children indoors.” – This poem is written by my father. I love it. And him. Wouldn’t be doing what I love without him. It’s in a beautiful book filled with other lovely poems as well.
Set of Brahman Naman. @avinandan_sthanpati Thanks for this painful memory.
When you are in a trance in a 600 year old marvel of architecture and reality comes knocking. “Peshaab karne ka hai re?” I love children.
This is an etching on wood by #Rembrandt himself. “Student at table by candlelight.” Roughly five hundred years old. He captures the gradient of candlelight in a way modern cameras can not. It lies before me unguarded. I will not steal it. Just kidding.
Several rooms in a hospital within which greed killed dozens of infants have burnt down, maybe containing the records of those who died. Evil moves in broad daylight. We must take more than a moment from our daily hustle to fight it, or it shall be at our door soon.
Welcome to Busan, where people are humble, the streets lonely and whales can fly.
